3 Decisions will have to be made if new discussions at the state level create any class size changes that should or should not be reflected in the County's SAPFO. Future decisions would reflect the timing and impact of new state legislation. This year, CHCCS and OCS did not exceed the adopted level of service standards established in the SAPFO, nor do projections show a potential need for additional capacity at the elementary, middle, and high school levels within the 10-year planning period. 6. Student Projection Analysis CHCCS Student membership projections show a mix of increases and decreases at all levels within the 10-year planning period. Projections are shown on page 37 of the report. OCS Student membership projections show a mix of increases and decreases at all levels within the 10-year planning period. Projections are shown on page 36 of the report. The City of Mebane lies partially within Orange County and students within the Orange County portion of Mebane attend Orange County schools. However, Mebane is not a party to the SAPFO agreement and does not require that CAPS be issued prior to development approvals. Although the SAPFO system is not formally regulated in Mebane, students residing within the Orange County portion of Mebane are accounted for in the SAPFO process with the annual reporting of actual student membership and ensuing growth rates contained in the 10-year student projections. 7. School Capacity CIP Needs Analysis CHCCS Projected needs: Elementary School Projections show no needs in the next 10 years Middle School Projections show no needs in the next 10 years High School Projections show no needs in the next 10 years OCS Projected needs: Elementary School Projections show no needs in the next 10 years Middle School Projections show no needs in the next 10 years High School Projections show no needs in the next 10 years NOTE: School capacity changes as part of a school renovation/upgrade project will be reviewed as necessary by the BOCC and school districts. 8. Student Generation Rates The updated student generation rates were approved on May 19, 2015 and are shown in Attachment II.E.1 on page 43 of the report. Updated rates began to be used for CAPS issuances in the fall of 2015 and are based on an inventory of recently built units from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2013. 9. Access to Full Report The draft SAPFOTAC report will be posted on the Orange County Planning Department's web site. A letter and the Executive Summary of the report will be sent to all SAPFO partners after this BOCC meeting advising them of the availability of the draft report and inviting comment. It is anticipated the draft 2019 SAPFOTAC report will be brought back to the BOCC for certification at the May 21, 2019 regular meeting.
